Promote baselines in order to move their item revisions to a higher stage in the Global Stage Lifecycle, and optionally, have the item files deployed to the associated area(s). This method of promotion enables you to group the item revisions that belong to a particular project/stream or design part and promote them in one operation.
Note that refactoring changes will not necessarily be deployed. It is recommended that you deploy refactoring changes using requests.
